Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

Satirical Video Released on Porto Santo PCR Testing

The mandatory second test for Porto Santo residents who return from travelling to Madeira, continues to be criticised.

Businessman and candidate for the Porto Santo Chamber, Luís Bettencourt, has released a satirical video that highlights the fact that Madeirans who visit Porto Santo can move around freely, while residents are forced to self isolate for five days before undergoing a second PCR tests.

It’s short, sweet and definitely gets its message across.
